Calasparra yesterday said goodbye to the holidays of Memorial Grant from the Villa to the Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem.
It has been three intense days with those who have remembered and remembered Calasparra the historic event.
This event reminds the privilege that King Sancho IV made to the Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, granting the June 9, 1289, Castle Calasparra and its terms to "swear to inheritance."
The award is made by the king in the presence of the masters and commanders of other military orders (Alcántara, Santiago Calatrava and the Temple) and the King of Granada, a vassal of Sancho IV and Archbishop of Toledo, "Primate of Spain" .
The conclusion of the event, which began in 1989, to mark the 700th anniversary of it was interrupted for several years until, in 2008 this tradition was recovered and since then has been repeated every year in the evening of 9 June, coinciding with the first concession and the Day of the Region.
A more austere memorial where we missed the theatrical event each year by the theater group The Molinico, and the great medieval pageant, but that the City will seek to recover for the next issue, since one of their claims is to achieve the status of Regional Tourist Interest, as the Councillor for Tourism, Maria Dolores Gomariz.
On the other hand has not missed the Medieval Dinner, which for the second year organized the Merchants' Guild (Merchants Association), neither the medieval The Commandery, with craft stalls and traditional cuisine.
Besides the gastronomic attraction is once again a success.
The Medieval Gastronomic Route IV with the participation of 19 local establishments gave a special flavor to the celebration.
The performance of the Rondalla Calasparra and Urban Tourist Route, completed the weekend.
The highlight was on Saturday with the symbolic handover of the keys to the Villa.
The theater group The Molinico, the cardiologist D.
Enrique Jaen Armand and the young researcher Pablo Alvarez Sanchez, picked this year's prestigious award given annually by the City of Calasparra and delivered by the Mayor of Calasparra, Jesus Navarro.
A popular event held in the Meeting Room of City Hall and many were able to follow live on local television.
The Keys of the Villa were given this year to the Theatre The Molinico "for his long career, 30 years. His social involvement to the development of culture and traditions of Calasparra" in the words of Jesus Navarro.
And Don Enrique Jaen Armand Sanchez and Pablo Alvarez, "in recognition of the study and research, always carrying the name of Calasparra with great pride and satisfaction, always emphasizing, anywhere the honor of being the son of this noble Villa," the Mayor.
And emotional words of thanks came from the mouth of the honorees to which Calasparra returns a little of what they have given to the locality.
